23. They're not supposed to.

Heck they didn't let my parents receive communion because my Dad and his first wife divorced long before he married my Mom. He was willing to have the first one annulled so he and my Mom could be married in the Church and they could both still receive Communion, until he found out they expected him to pay a large sum of money so a priest could go to Rome and get permission from the Vatican. Luckily one of the more progressive Priests many years later said he would give my Dad last rights right before he died, and he told my Mom he would allow her to receive communion. I understand both Popes Francis and Leo were and are against excommunication because of divorce.

J.D. on the other hand supports the war, and the brutality against the immigrants, and Pope Leo has made it very clear he stands against both those stances. I think he is my favorite Pope so far in my lifetime!

Unfortunately, some American Priests are giving their loyalty to tsf and his minions rather than the Pope, and more importantly Jesus and God. Likely why J.D. won't face consequences.
